What this thread reminds me of -



223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

Since taking that advice and for their value, I've been very pleased following his recommendations.

For my 'set it and forget it' hunting scopes, this has been great advice.
And here I thought the Burris FFII was a cheap, philippine made scope.

The Burris scopes I have had are USA made.

He could have said steer away from Chinese, Filipino and Taiwanese glass. Leupolds made in the USA in a lot of cases means assembled in the USA with sourced shït parts.
I'd like to know who doesn't use sourced parts these days. Having worked in the firearm industry for years I bet it would shock a lot of people how many "sourced" parts are used by some very highly regarded US firearm manufactures and where those parts are sourced from.. I'd have a hard time believing scope manufacturers are any different.


Of course they all source parts glass ect it’s when they pinch the supplier so fûckn tight that everything made is junk. That’s what got Leupold to its current status.

Anyone who has spent any time at all on a crew bus knows that stick did not come up with that [bleep] talking. Worlds away from your normal there are some ruff bastard that carry man cards.

Died? No no Paul. You see that elk only appears dead to the layman's eye. But since the failure rate on Leupolds is a full 100 percent it is obviously only "MOSTLY DEAD". Now if the gentleman who shot it had spend another 1500 more bucks for some alpha glass well then and only then could you rest assured that it was "ENTIRELY DEAD". I'm sure that the animal was only in a temporary state of shock and jumped up and ran off soon after the photo. Glad I could clear that up for you.

If I had shot either one of those I'd have to have plastic surgery to get the chit eating grin off my face. LOL! Doesn't get much better for a Muley.
